64decided it was as good as cake, and it was really
silly to cook and make cakes out of it when it was
just as good this way--raw flour. I remember that
discussion very well. So that was one of our things.
We were going to eat raw flour when we got home.
Oh, I don't remember the recipes now, but I just
remember that incident.
Now I do know that in November of 1942, there were
some Red Cross shipments. Some of the prisoners, at
least, at Cabanatuan received Red Cross packages at
that time. Do you recall that particular incident?
In November, I left to go to Japan.
November of 1942?
Yes.
In other words, this was before the Red Cross packages
actually got there.
I didn't get a Red Cross package at Cabanatuan. I
left in early November.
You must have been in one of the very early groups
to get out of Cabanatuan then.
I Was one of the first groups.
And in a sense you were lucky.
Yes.
Because the submarine menace wasn't what it was to
become later on in the war.
